Facebooks new advertising features are not only annoying me I’d probably say there are huge privacy implications too. I’m far from being the only one to be peeved by this. Zuckerberg was apparently confused as to why people would be concerned about the privacy implications during the press conference. It has become apparent that Facebook isn’t the best at privacy.The introduction of the news feed feature sometime ago was met with some amount of fury. At the very least listen to the same feedback as before and extend the preference sliders and let me turn down the noise for these new ads.I’m definitely not going to use it but if, for some strange reason, you’re interested in which brands and products I’m passionate about, here’s my list (in no particular order):

Apple

Crumpler bags

Herman Miller chairs

Mont Blanc pens

Specialized

Sennheiser headphones

JBL speakers

Moleskine notebooks

Aga

Wusthoff knives

Sony Bravia televisions

Bombay Sapphire gin

If I feel something is jaw-droppingly awesome, performs brilliantly, is better than a competing product or just has some fantastic marketing behind it then I’m much more likely to tell my friends about it myself by traditional word-of-mouth.
